I'm not sure what you're asking here. I was referring to a suspension in which the hammock hangs from a structural ridgeline attached to the tarp. First the tarp ridgeline is pulled very tight (maybe less than 5°). Then the hammock is attached to the ridgeline, hanging at approximately 30° from the center section of the ridgeline. When I get in the hammock, my weight pulls the end sections of the ridgeline down about 15° from the horizontal. Hope this helps.
Don't forget a safety factor. My use of 3x is actually considered a bit risky. Some people recommend up to 10x.
